56x lower on its way
I had been hoping my 2 magazine orders would have arrived by now. I was going down the path of doing a 3D scan of a swiss mag and of a t-mag so I could 3D design and print adapters that could weld or epoxy onto p/t-mags for them to lock into a swiss lower. I only have 2x 30 round mags and 3x 20 round mags and I would prefer more before I start running my 553 in matches and other events. By chance, I went on JDI's site to see if they had any railed handguards in stock because my modified magpul pic rail segments mounted onto the handguards seemed to get too much wiggle with a MAWL and Unity Raxis mount. I saw "1" 56x lower in stock with a picture. I recall the site never had pictures of the actual lowers so maybe something was up. Emailed Dave and confirmed there was 1 in stock! Immediately ordered.
I told myself I wouldn't dump tons more money into expensive parts for a few months but I couldn't let this opportunity go by given the uncertainty of CH export licenses.
Can't wait for it to arrive! Oh, and no handguards are in stock. Acheron handguard will need to be the path forward.
I'll also still go down the path of making the 3D printed adapters this summer so I can run the Swiss lower when I feel like it.
